“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” - Ephesians 4:1-3 ESV

Would you like to go for a walk? Most of us just love being asked to enjoy a stroll through a park or the neighborhood. There’s just something about getting out of the house and enjoying a walk that lifts our spirits and often helps us gain a new perspective. The Bible has a lot to say about walking. The Old Testament patriarchs like Abraham walked the lay of the land while seeking the will of God. Jonah walked the city of Nineveh after his rebellious moments that landed him in the belly of the great fish. Nehemiah walked the city of Jerusalem and contemplated God’s plan for rebuilding the wall.

Jesus was no stranger to walking either. He walked together with his disciples and ministered for three years during the time that changed the world! And even after his death and resurrection, our Savior walked the road to Emmaus with two disciples that had lost all hope…and yet by the end of their walk, they found a joy that they could have never imagined before!

Walking…can change our perspective.
